Overtime work is defined as that authorized <br /> or required time worked in excess of the regular workday and/or workweek <br /> except that work amounting to less than thirty (30) minutes in excess of an <br /> employee's regular workday shall not be considered overtime. Effective <br /> April 15, 1986, said thirty-minute per-day overtime exclusion shall apply <br /> only to employees exempted from coverage under the overtime provisions of <br /> the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). <br /> A workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 <br /> consecutive hours - 7 consecutive 24-hour periods - as designated by the <br /> appointing authority. <br /> Section 3. Computation of Forty (40) Hour Workweek. In <br /> computing a regular workday and/or workweek, paid leave for holidays, <br /> sickness, vacation, and other time off with pay shall be credited towards <br /> the total. <br /> Section 4. Compensation for Overtime. <br /> A. The preferable method by which overtime shall be compensated <br /> is by monetary payment, at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee's <br /> regular rate of pay. <br /> B.

Eligible employees may convert time and one-half (T 1/2) paid <br /> overtime to time and one-half (T 1/2) compensatory time off, with the prior <br /> permission of the employee's supervisor and subject to the operational <br /> needs of the department. This conversion shall be limited to the <br /> accumulation of sixty (60) hours of earned, unused compensatory time off <br /> benefits. <br /> D. Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be <br /> accumulated, subject also to limitations herein elsewhere provided, to a <br /> maximum of sixty (60) hours. <br /> E. Because each hour of overtime worked is programmatically <br /> accrued on a time and one-half (T 1/2) basis, compensatory time off will be <br /> taken, and monetary payment will be paid, on a straight-time basis. Also, <br /> upon termination, any earned, unused compensatory time off <br /> ("time-on-the-books") will be paid on a straight-time basis. <br /> Section 5. Incremental Usage. Time off with pay to compensate for <br /> overtime worked may be taken in increments as small as one-half (1/2) hour. <br /> Section 6. Excess Usage.
